ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

[MarzNC]

I saw don't know if 100% true, the Lightning isn't selling...
then again the car industry is a bit of down turn

Where did you see that the Lightning isn't selling? I haven't looked lately but assume Demand still is far more than Supply. As for Ford in general or as part of the EV market, that's a different story.

This Company Sold More EVs than Any Other but Tesla

With 61,000 electric-vehicle sales in 2022, it still trails GM and Toyota overall.

My car loses driver assist and cruise control more often than not when there is any sort of weather... Annoying

That’s actually a good thing. You can get into trouble pretty quickly in winter weather. You need to pay attention and keep control of the throttle and steering.

Remember that ice storm on Taconic Parkway when all those SUVs were sliding off the road? That wasn’t me.

Just hit 2,000 miles in about 3 weeks. Driver assist failed a second time in glare on a westbound road into the glare. Not bad 2x in 2,000 miles.

How did the air pump work?

Very nicely. I did not time it but probably as fast or faster than a ‘slime’ battery hooked up unit. Like many things rivian it under promised which is not a great thing when filling. Setting to 50 took to 53 psi so I just set to 48 which did 51-52.
It can handle 150 psi and is a much thinker hose than a slime unit.

Glad to hear. I am not sure I would have taken that in an ice storm. Assuming I felt I could drive it (not sure I would feel comfortable) I would be too worried about other cars sliding into me. For some reason most don’t slow down enough around that one brutal curve a few miles from 84….
